Advice re estate agents

Recommended Posts

We will do AIRBNB for the first month until our stuff arrives from UK. Can anyone recommend a good real estate agent in that area ?. We have been looking on https://www.realestate.com.au. Is there perhaps a decent company/service we can use that would help us with the process of finding home and schools ? Thanks.

If you mean you're looking for a real estate agent who who'll find properties for you to look at, there's no such thing in Melbourne. Real estate agents work for the seller, not the buyer.

Here, you just have to keep an eye on realestate.com.au and domain.com.au and trudge round the "open for inspections" on Saturdays. Almost all property is advertised on one of those two sites. Gone are the days of dropping into a local office to find out what's available, or searching the newspaper.

If you need help to buy a property, then Google "buyer's agent" or "buyer's advocate".
